Peristomal Pyoderma Gangrenosum Related to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Case Study.
Peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum (PPG) is a rare complication of peristomal skin. It is difficult to manage, and there are no guidelines for treatment. This case study describes the management of a patient with PPG while taking corticosteroids and cyclosporine as chronic therapy for systemic lupus er…
Multi-cohort transcriptomic analysis with machine learning identifies interferon-related candidate genes in systemic lupus erythematosus.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease with complex molecular mechanisms. Although transcriptomic studies have revealed prominent interferon signatures in SLE, robust prioritization of candidate genes across independent cohorts remains challenging. In this study, we…
Clinical predictors for bloodstream infection in systemic lupus erythematosus.
This study aimed to investigate the distribution of pathogenic bacteria and identify clinical predictors associated with bloodstream infection (BSI) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The experimental group included 43 SLE patients with BSI (SLE-BSI), who were diagnosed and treated…
Research progress of ferroptosis in gynecological diseases.
The concept of ferroptosis debuted as a newly defined programmed cell death in 2012. Among programmed cell death mechanisms, ferroptosis stands out as being fundamentally dependent on iron. At the heart of this mechanism lies the progressive accumulation of lipid peroxides - a chain reaction propell…
SM03, a non-depleting anti-CD22 antibody, modulates B cell activation and immune crosstalk to attenuate autoimmunity.
To evaluate the disease-modifying potential of SM03, a novel humanized anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody, for B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases by investigating its mechanism for suppressing B cell dysregulation in autoimmune milieu. SM03's mechanism was assessed in-vitro using functional assays on st…
Triptolide loaded cerium oxide nanozyme based oral nanoplatform for targeted colitis therapy.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of colonic inflammation characterized by immune dysregulation and intestinal inflammation. Cerium oxide (CeO₂) nanozyme can effectively downregulate reactive oxygen species (ROS), but it lacks anti-inflammatory and other pharmacological activities. Triptolide…
Immune cell-derived membrane nanovesicles: A promethean fire for autoimmune disease therapy through immune cell mimicry.
Autoimmune diseases (AIDs) constitute a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by immune dysregulation, loss of self-tolerance, and chronic inflammation, which leads to tissue damage and organ dysfunction. Current therapies for AIDs are often limited by their lack of specificity, systemic si…
Commensal microbiota-coated biohybrid implants induce antibiofilm, osteogenic, and immunomodulatory responses in a human 3D immunocompetent model.
Medical devices have revolutionized patient care; however, their abiotic surfaces remain highly susceptible to bacterial biofilm formation, enabling immune evasion and antibiotic resistance. Although antibacterial coatings can mitigate bacterial colonization, many rely on antimicrobial agents that m…
